Chapter 20
Blissfully unaware of the family drama unraveling in the Anderson family, Deborah. was immersed in her own world, fully engaged in a discussion with Charlotte as they planned for Deborah to teach a sign language and Morse code class for kids. They spent the entire morning planning the class and discussing details of the structure of the lessons and class schedules. Their conversation had to end at 11 as Charlotte needed to pick her son up.
"Alright, Deborah, I think we've got most of the details down," Charlotte said as she walked to the door.
[Yes.] Deborah wrote her response, a communication they had agreed to for convenience.
"In that case, see you tomorrow at five to show you the place where you'll be teaching. I'll spread the word among the neighbors about the upcoming classes today too." Charlotte opened the door and continued to say, "Well, I'll leave now to pick Michael up then make lunch.".
[See you later.] Deborah said her goodbye through her notebook, watching Charlotte. leave before heading back into her home.
Deborah was happy because now she could share her way of communicating with others. She was also happy that the stationery haul from the other day was going to be put to good use. She chose one of the new notebooks to prep for her classes. During their conversation, Charlotte gave her a mini-map showing the layout of all the shops, stores, and services offered in the area.
This neighborhood truly had everything: there were morning and evening gymnastics classes, a mini-hospital for small emergencies, a supermarket, a center for an assortment of classes, a park, and a public pool.
'It looks like a mini city. Deborah was amused at her thoughts. Then, she took her phone to look up the gynecologist's number to schedule an appointment. Just then, she received a text message.
It was from Caroline: [Hi, Deborah, Chris told me that Roger has hired his lawyers because he doesn't want to go through with the divorce. But don't worry, my husband won't give up. And if necessary, we'll go to court.] Deborah sighed because she had already anticipated this outcome. Still, she was
confident to move forward with it.
Deborah responded: [Alright, I figured something like this would happen. But now I'm ready and I'm not afraid to face it.]
Caroline: [That's the spirit! ;) By the way, did you schedule your appointment, or do you want me to call them?]This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Deborah: [I was just about to call because a neighbor came by this morning for a welcome chat.]
Caroline: [That's great! Finally, you won't be living locked up anymore. I'll call to make an appointment in my name so that no one finds out ;D]
Deborah: [Thanks! And guess what... I'm teaching a class here in the neighborhood starting tomorrow![]
Caroline: [0-O! Really? Wow... that's awesome, Debbie! Congratulations! In that case, is it okay if we come by later? I want to hear all about it. Besides, Chris also wants to tell you what Roger's lawyers have communicated.] Deborah: [Sounds good. Do you want me to prepare something for dinner?]
Caroline: [No, we'll bring it, so you can try those cakes from that shop I told you about.]
Deborah: [Alright, then I'll buy some drinks and snacks at the supermarket nearby.]
Caroline: [Great! ;D See you in a bit.]
Deborah put her phone aside and stretched a bit before organizing her purchases from yesterday and continuing to prep for her classes.
After lunch, she went out for a walk around the area, carrying a notebook to communicate with people.
Once she was done exploring the area, she went to the store to buy some drinks, snacks, and other things she needed at home.
For the first time, she felt liberated-buying items and foods she liked without worrying about the time.
When she saw a bottle of Roger's favorite wine, she thought to herself, 'I really was foolish to put up with it for so long, waiting for him to change just a little.' She always bought that wine, but they never drank it together because he would take them for his dates with Sophia.
She shook off those thoughts and continued shopping, getting excited when she found her favorite sweets and putting them in her cart. On her way back home, she suddenly craved bread and pastries, so she bought some at the bakery along the way. When she reached her doorstep, she looked to her right and realized that Jayden. hadn't come over to greet her that day.
